Back home from Virginia Beach and the rain seems to have come with us. It's a great seeing family but also a good time to return to Regular Life. One of the side effects of seeing them was thinking about the past and thinking about being younger. The car ride made me jones for live albums I listened to in college - today's album is Okonokos by My Morning Jacket (2006) despite never seeing them in person... - and now I'm trying to reconnect with that part of things.

I also picked up some books about writing nonfiction at AFK Books & Records I hope to get through within the upcoming month, so I'm expecting to maybe bulk up my writing here as a result. Work is providing me some big projects so I'll need to buckle down and focus there too. June's around the corner and I have some plans for posts here that may or may not put me in hot water but some history needs to be recorded and kept before it's wiped away officially. A lot on my mind and a good amount to do. - A.B. 5/28/25
